💛 Thank you @RozMccall for highlighting our work in the #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek debate, as well as the need to support children's mental health early in primary schools.
🎥 Last week I was proud to lead a Members’ Business debate on #MentalHealth. Almost 1 in 4 children experience mental health difficulties before secondary school - but support for under-10s is missing. Too little. Too late. The Scottish Government must act.

Welcome news. There are still huge challenges: its crucial that we collectively shift resources to sustain progress and provide support early so no child faces mental health issues alone. Here’s why and how:
Mental Wellbeing Minister @MareeToddMSP has thanked Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) staff for their dedication after the latest @P_H_S_Official statistics showed 90.6% of those referred to CAMHS were seen within 18 weeks. Read more ➡️

"This Children’s Mental Health Week, why don’t we ask young people what they think is the best way for them? After all, it’s their life.". We think Sam's spot on! Great article from one of @CYPCS's Young Advisor's for #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek.
It’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and Young Advisor Sam, 16, has written a powerful blog about the mental health challenges facing some young people and suggests how adults can support them. 📕

💛Last year during #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek @STVAppeal visted one of our Glasgow partner schools to hear more about the amazing work our counsellors are doing to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people. Here's what they heard. 👇.
It’s #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek and @STVLaura visited @Place2BeScot to learn more about the campaign and the theme My Voice Matters. It’s always great to catch up with the wonderful Place2Be, a charity whose various projects we have funded over the years.
